Question:
Which of the following expressions are meaningful? Which aremeaningless? Explain.
(a) (a · b) · c
(a · b) · c has ---Select--- meaning nomeaning because it is the dot productof ---Select--- a scalar and a vector twovectors two scalars .
(b) (a · b)c
(a · b)c has ---Select--- meaning nomeaning because it is a scalar multipleof ---Select--- a scalar a vector .
(c) |a|(b · c)
|a|(b · c)has ---Select--- meaning nomeaning because it is the productof ---Select--- a scalar and a vector twovectors two scalars .
(d) a · (b + c)
a · (b + c)has ---Select--- meaning nomeaning because it is the dot productof ---Select--- a scalar and a vector twovectors two scalars .
(e) a · b + c
a · b + c has ---Select--- meaning nomeaning because it is the sumof ---Select--- a scalar and a vector twovectors two scalars .
(f) |a| · (b + c)
|a| · (b + c)has ---Select--- meaning nomeaning because it is the dot productof ---Select--- a scalar and a vector twovectors two scalars .
